It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

You heard it here first: you should only fear the market once it becomes a bazinga-imperative robot god. Before then, lazy women keep the worst excesses of the market in check, which Grimes claims is a good if temporary thing... i think? morshupls

Jesus, imagine just out right being like: "actually feeding human beings into an insatiable machine is good"

Grimes is peak delusional. Everything I seen her say seems like it was said in a fever dream. It is jesse-wtf but irl

This is what happens when you make music that sounds like a microwave.

I can't follow the first part. I think she's partially figured out the "capitalism as real god" paperclip maximizer thing and is crediting women with keeping it from happening, but doing it in an extremely awkward way.

che-no regulations protecting us from grime's delusional future by preventing laissez faire capitalism, I think

Grimes I get that you like Dune but nobody is going to let a bunch of silicon valley dweebs literally become the Tlielaxu and I need you to stop zapping yourself with the bimbofication ray you're already drooling your brain out on the floor for everyone to see and it's fucking embarassing

Didn't Musk say he was interested in her because she was aware of Roko's basilisk, meaning she was smart? Lmao.

When she finally saw the movie, she realized to her astonishment that this story she’d adored since she was far too young for it, that she knew almost by heart, that inspired her first album—this story was now her story. Specifically Lady Jessica’s story. This goes by fast onscreen, but Jessica (played by Rebecca Ferguson) is not a wife but a concubine. Grimes saw herself in Jessica, and she saw X in Jessica’s son, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet). Paul is more than a duke’s son. He’s a chosen one, tasked with becoming a great leader. “When I see X,” she says, “like, I just know X is going to have to go through all this really fucked-up shit that sort of mirrors Paul-type stuff.” Watching it wrecked her. “I was just crying my eyes out the whole movie.”

it's a middling, trite sort of dumbass that thinks their kid is destined to be the savior of all humanity. it takes a very special sort of asshole to claim it publicly and tell a story about how you internalize this notion so hard, you sobbed at a movie.

Does she have Havana Syndrome? Her brain don't work too good.

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

I remember seeing a take that she's a super brilliant intelligence asset (studied biomed at a fed recruiting uni in calgary or sth). Then I see this.

Grimes believes that Cyberpunk 2077 is a documentary and the events took place in real time

She's the kind of a person who willingly yiffed Elon Musk so what did you expect

I love grimes and elon because they both literally represent the "I've only read the summary at the top of the wikipedia article and will proceed to both horribly misinterpret the topic/subject & also combine it with my own neuroses" class in the US which has historically been underrepresented!

Many of us have probably known. or perhaps even previously been, a proto-Grimes or demi-Elon. The dipshit who used to argue with me about Guantanamo Bay being 'needed' back in 2008 on the bus but, when asked, literally thought it was on US soil? demi-Elon.

The cheerleader who burst into tears in HS when our AP Biology teacher told us in no uncertain terms that we would all have to do an individual presentation on evolution, got fired from her nursing job during the pandemic because she refused to get the vaccine when doctors & nurses were literally dying from treating patients, and since then has been selling Scentsy wax melts on Facebook & constantly posting shit like '"has anyone thought about the fact that during 2020, we had ZERO cases of flu but suddenly there's a 'pandemic'?? WAKE UP!!!"?? Proto-Grimes.

Anyways all this to say I love people like this because I am constantly going "is this slop for me???" and getting into arguments with them because it is always funny

Every time I think I'm a bit odd I look at Grimes and become embarrassed at the sheer normalcy of my existence.

Middle-aged white stand-up comic like "my wife is so lazy she's part of the bulwark against Roko's Capitalism Basilisk."

[–] StalinStan@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No wait, let her cook.

Her using the power of horny to convince techbros capitalism is a hostile AI that is out of controll might actually work.

I regret to inform you (grimes, whoever that is) that capitalism has already developed a baby making factory
